Please note:

Recent changes (a 70% increase) to the UK postage rates for printed papers sent outside the UK have meant that the price of a pattern for overseas buyers is now about 80% of the cost of the item. I can only apologise for this as I have simply transparently passed the increase on to the buyer. The only mitigation I can offer is to ensure a reduction of excess postage for multiple items shipped together.

Description: Excellent pattern for a man's zipped cardigan in a wide chequered pattern created in sections of plain and purl. I am fairly confident that this is a very early example of modelling by Roger Moore - making it all the more lovely. However, sadly, the instructions are given for only one moderate man's size.
The pattern is in a delicate condition with some tears; The instructions are in tact but I will also supply a clean copy of them along with the original pattern.
This pattern is also featured in Jane Waller's book Man's Knitting Book: Classic Patterns from the 20's to the 50's - published in 1984. The pattern is reproduced as is - not revamped with additional sizes - unlike later collaborations where Susan Crawford redrafts similar vintage patterns.
